Manhattan 7-Elevens Go Vegan

NEW YORK - A feature at DNAInfo.com reveals the foodservice role that 7-Eleven is playing as it continues its Manhattan rollout.

It€™s not Slurpees and cigarettes that are flying off shelves in 7-Eleven stores in the Big Apple; rather, Upper East Siders have been stocking up on fresh foods, upscale snacks, and ready-to-eat meals, especially the vegan variety.

"At first I was scared that no one would buy [the vegan meals], but we€™ve been selling a lot," said Das Sudhir, manager of the 7-Eleven on East 84th Street and York Avenue. "We have extras in the back so we don€™t run out."
